Junea Rocha: The Life Of A Natural Foods Entrepreneur

Send us Fan MailJunea Rocha is the Co-founder and CMO of Brazi Bites. Junea Rocha moved to the US in 2005 after graduating from college in Civil Engineering and took a job in construction management in Portland, Oregon. She rose through the ranks quickly, and hit a career-high, yet she felt unfulfilled. It would have been easy for Junea to lean into the success she found in engineering, but when she imagined her future she knew she would rather reflect on taking a risk and following her dream than looking back with regret by playing it safe and sticking with a career she wasn’t passionate about. Not having any immediate background in the culinary or food space, Junea’s love and passion for her homeland ignited an idea. In 2010, she and her husband started Brazi Bites with the hopes that Americans would love Brazilian Cheese Bread (“Pão de queijo”) as much as they did.Access show notes for this episode at:https://www.pureenergypdx.com/integrate-yourself-podcast/junea-rocha-brazi-bitesJoin my Ground + Connect Retreat in Oregonhttps://www.pureenergypdx.com/new-events/womens-wellness-retreat-oregonSupport the showFollow me on Instagram:@allisonpelot_Subscribe to my YouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/c/AllisonPelot
